My 9 year old dd just got moved up from Pre-Team to the Level 4 Mason Dixon League (MDL) starting in June. What exactly is the main difference between the MDL and USAG gymnastics? In the gym handbook it says that the MDL generally goes by the USAG standards except there are about 6 competitions a year for the MDL instead of 12 for USAG and the MDL is not as "strict" in their judging.
My dd is going from 6 hours 2 days a week for pre-team to 11 hours 3 days a week for the MDL Level 4. So, in my opinion that is still pretty intense for a gymnast just starting out.
I just wanted to get more details on this and hear anyone's experiences with either of these gymnastics programs.
